Report: Deal Reached in Jussie Smollett Case, Charges Dropped

According to the Chicago Sun Times, prosecutors and Smollett’s legal team agreed to a deferred prosecution deal Tuesday. That means the “Empire” actor would not face prosecution and not be required to plead guilty to any charges.

Additional reports state charges against Smollett have dropped altogether, his record will be expunged and the reason for the deal is actor’s work in the Chicago community.

After reviewing details and evidence, the state says #JussieSmollett’s work in the community is why they are axing the case. @fox32news
